You will seek out the service roads.

I think I have made my decision. I think once the rally is finished, the RR will be cleaned up and on the auction block.

Mr Lefty · 05-01-2009, 12:18 PM

well yeah this talking has really got me going about this trip... but I'll keep the RR... it's paid off... insurance costs me about nothing.

need to go test ride a BMW... I've sat on one... but never ridden one.

figure I'll pick up a used one... what with my military pay

We will have to go to the bimmer dealership on tuesday. I just getting rid of the RR cause andrea will cut my balls off if I keep going with expanding the motorcycle garage. It's hard enough to ride 3 bikes regularly. Plus I want to decrease my risk, I am not willing to accept as much as I use to.

Mr Lefty · 05-01-2009, 12:25 PM

planning on it!

and have you seen the slide show on the front page of Adventurerider.com?

exactly why I want to get one of those bikes....

Well, I went the cheap ADV route with a KLR. Plus I didn't want to lug around a big ass 1200 in the woods, but I still would like in on some of this adventure touring. The bike can make it, I'll just have to make room in the bags for a couple quarts of oil. :P
